Hi Rajasekar,

Normally we have the top most material or the material which is to be sold as the one which has a class type 300 assigned to it. I think, if you need to assign this material as a component in another material, then even that material would have to be a configurable material.

All said and done, if you are using this within another material you would still have to use dependencies for picking this material for consumption which would be based on the class char values that you get for this material when the production order for the parent material is created. You will need to pass values to these characteristics for this to happen and this normally happens through a sales order in such cases.

If you could let us know of a business case or give us an example then maybe we could give some suggestions.

Hi Rajesh,

The configurable material is make to order with sales specifications. Once produced it will go for quality, if rejected then it will be reused for different material which is make to stock. This is client business requirement. Hence the configurable material is produced only on sales order characteristics. This is make to order only.

Rajashekhar,

The components of the super bom of the configurable material can be configurable items themselves. They can have their own super boms / super routings and the components / routing data can be picked /changed based on the values flowing from the topmost material.This is very much possible in the system.

The topmost material mght have one or more components which can configured in different ways. They have to be produced as sub components themselves (maybe like on a different assembly line) and then used for producing the main finished good.
